College Student Crimes

College Student Crimes

The college years are meant to be a time of growth for our children, a stage of life during which they learn to take care of themselves and prepare for their adult lives and careers. However, the freedom kids gain in college and university environments can lead to difficulties. Students can make bad choices that lead to discipline by school authorities; they can also be wrongly accused of offenses by authorities off campus.
